Indium ranks 61st in abundance in the Earth's crust at approximately 0.25 ppm (parts per million)
Radioactive indium-111 (in very small amounts on a chemical basis) is used white blood cells in the body. it was also The first large-scale application for indium was as a coating for bearings in high-performance aircraft engines during World war 2
some interesting facts are that Indium tin oxide is used as a light filter in low pressure sodium vapor lamps. The infrared radiation is reflected back into the lamp, which increases the temperature within the tube and therefore improves the performance of the lamp
